7 This article will assume that your C: drive is //(hd0,0)//.
8 You need at least 160MB to run Slitaz cooking (128MB for Slitaz 1.0).
10 Tested with Windows XP on FAT32 and on NTFS.
12 For Windows XP, 2000 or NT, copy http://mirror.slitaz.org/boot/grldr
13 into C:\ and append to C:\boot.ini:
15 <file>C:\grldr="Grub4DOS"</file>
17 ===== Traditional frugal install =====
19 Copy http://download.tuxfamily.org/slitaz/boot/cooking/bzImage and
20 http://download.tuxfamily.org/slitaz/boot/cooking/rootfs.gz (both <30MB)
21 into C:\boot and append to C:\menu.lst the following text:
23 <file>
24 title SliTaz cooking
25 kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage rw root=/dev/null vga=normal
26 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/rootfs.gz
27 </file>
28 Works fine with Windows XP on FAT32 and on NTFS.
30 ===== ISO image install =====
32 Copy http://download.tuxfamily.org/slitaz/iso/cooking/slitaz-cooking.iso (<30MB)
33 into C:\boot. Run defragmentation on C:. And append to C:\menu.lst the following text:
35 <file>
36 title SliTaz cooking
37 map (hd0,0)/boot/slitaz-cooking.iso (hd1)
38 map --hook
39 kernel (hd1)/boot/bzImage rw root=/dev/null vga=normal
40 initrd (hd1)/boot/rootfs.gz
41 </file>
43 Works fine with Windows XP on FAT32 and on NTFS. Using version 0.4.3.
44 The file C:\boot\slitaz-cooking.iso MUST be defragmented.
46 You need 160MB or 256MB of RAM to run the slitaz-cooking.iso.
47 If you have less RAM try:
48 http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/cooking/flavors/slitaz-cooking-base.iso or
49 http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/cooking/flavors/slitaz-cooking-justX.iso or
50 http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/cooking/flavors/slitaz-loram.iso instead:
52 <file>
53 title SliTaz cooking base
54 map (hd0,0)/boot/slitaz-cooking-base.iso (hd1)
55 map --hook
56 kernel (hd1)/boot/bzImage rw root=/dev/null vga=normal
57 initrd (hd1)/boot/rootfs.gz
58 </file>
59 See http://community.slitaz.org/wiki/Loram
61 ===== Web boot install =====
63 Copy http://download.tuxfamily.org/slitaz/boot/gpxe (<200KB)
64 into C:\boot and append to C:\menu.lst the following text:
66 <file>
67 title SliTaz web
68 kernel (hd0,0)/boot/gpxe
69 </file>
71 Gpxe is provided by the SliTaz Live CD too:
72 <file>
73 title SliTaz web
74 map (hd0,0)/boot/slitaz-cooking.iso (hd1)
75 map --hook
76 kernel (hd1)/boot/gpxe
77 </file>
78 This will boot the latest available version of SliTaz. See http://boot.slitaz.org/.
79 Works fine with Windows XP on FAT32 and on NTFS.
81 ===== Tuning the boot process =====
83 Additional boot parameters may be appended. For example:
85 <file>
86 title SliTaz cooking
87 map (hd0,0)/boot/slitaz-cooking.iso (hd1)
88 map --hook
89 kernel (hd1)/boot/bzImage rw root=/dev/null vga=extended lang=fr_FR kmap=fr-latin1 laptop autologin config=/dev/hda1,boot/slitaz.sh
90 initrd (hd1)/boot/rootfs.gz
91 </file>
93 The file // /boot/slitaz.sh // in // /dev/hda1 // will be executed at the end of the boot script:
95 <file>
96 initrd (hd1)/boot/rootfs.gz (hd0,0)/boot/extra-softwares.gz (hd0,0)/boot/my-config-files.gz
97 </file>
99 The compressed cpio archives // /boot/extra-softwares.gz // and // /boot/my-config-files.gz // will be loaded after the official initramfs //rootfs.gz//. This is faster than using the previous // /boot/slitaz.sh // script.
101 ===== Automated Graphical Approach using UNetbootin =====
103 A SliTaz Frugal Install or a Live USB installation can be performed using [[http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/|UNetbootin]].
105 Either the standard version ([[http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/unetbootin-windows-latest.exe|Windows]] | [[http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/unetbootin-linux-latest|Linux]]) can be used (select SliTaz from the
106 Distribution list), or a custom SliTaz version ([[http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/unetbootin-windows-latest.exe|Windows]] | [[http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/unetbootin-linux-latest|Linux]]) may also be used.
108 To perform a Frugal Install, select “Hard Disk” under installation type;
109 to create a Live USB, select “USB Drive” under installation type.
